The Wenham Select Board held a community forum on June 11, 2026, to discuss the future of the Iron Rail property (80 acres), focusing on three developable sites: the Iron Rail building (site 1), soccer fields (site 2), and land near the cemetery (site 3). Key entities included Iron Rail Gymnastics Academy (400+ members), Boy Scout Barn (Troop 28, 100+ years), and Hamilton-Wenham Youth Soccer. Major topics were a $6 million repair estimate, potential land lease or sale, zoning changes (including Chapter 40Y for middle-income housing), and preservation of community organizations, with strong public support for maintaining existing uses and calls for more stakeholder engagement and financial clarity.
